I did it! I did it!
I lived to be fifty years old!

A little over 13 years ago I was sitting in a closet, smoking cocaine and drinking vodka. I weighed 300 pounds, only went into work 3 out of five days in a week (no problem - I’m a civil servant and that’s really good attendance) and called what I did ‘partying’. I never expected to live past 40…

YESTERDAY I turned 50! YIPPPEEEEEE!!!

Someone said to me, “Oh, don’t worry Leslie! 50 is the new 40!”.

I said, “The heck with THAT! I’ve been 40…and I’ve worked HARD to get here, baby! I’m putting on a party hat, grabbing my bottle of sparkling apple cider, spreading glitter on my cheeks (never mind which ones) and shouting “50 50 50” at the TOP OF MY LUNGS!”

film at 11.

So thank you for all the wonderful emails, and messages on my blog. It was a beautiful and holy Christmas and wonderful birthday…a little rocky in places, and I still miss my Roddy MacDuff, but I am ok…and best of all

I’m FIFTY!!!
 
Happy Birthday, congratulations. The Polish custom is to wish you

“Sto Lat” pronouced “Stow Lot” Translated means: We hope you live a 100 years! God bless you for taking control of your life and placing God as your pilot!
 
Yippee! Let’s sing! 😃

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Leslie,
Happy Birthday to you!

👍

So, it’s past eleven o’clock here - where the film? :confused: 😉
 
Happy birthday to you, Leslie. 🙂 We are so lucky to have you and your words of wisdom (punctuated with doses of hilarity) around here.
 
For some reason, I thought that you were younger. :ehh: But, ya done good, kid! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear LSK, happy birthday to you!

That’s only because I am emotionally immature…😉

And you know what? The local news apparently did not think a crazy woman with glitter on her cheeks shouting 50 50 50 was good enough for the news…’

well, I never…

but I did!
 
Thanks be to God for his infinite grace and mercy! Happy birthday, Leslie!

Actually, I never thought that. I thought, “Boy, she’s so emotionally mature for one so young” 😃

And, yeah, it is worthy of the news. We should call them and tell them to do a story on your birthday. :yup:
 
And my 4 year old niece, Jillian? The one who goes to Mass with me on Sundays because she LOVES the Children’s Liturgy of the Word…she told me last night, “Well, don’t worry Auntie…I’m sure your guardian angel is still young”

:rotfl:

Thanks for the chuckle your post gave me. 🙂
 
What a wonderful story. You made my day. Happy belated birthday. Here’s to 50 more!
 
Happy Belated Birthday (and hope this finds you “in the pink”).
 
Happy Birthday Leslie!!! Been there done that…only I didn’t think I would live to legally drive a car…hehehehe…(let alone legally drink)
Which I might add, I have never done… I am very proud of you!!! As an ex druggie and alcoholic, I know how hard it is. But for the grace of God huh? Now, I want to see another fifty woman! You can do it!
Happy Birthday to yooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
